The residents of a small Siberian fishing village welcomed us with tables laden with caviar, served on slices of white bread. Caviar is very small, and when photographed from any distance, it appears very much like jam. Only by moving in as close as my lens allowed could I capture details such as the coloration, texture, and shape of the tiny fish eggs known as caviar. I made these eggs as large as possible, however I also made sure to retain some context for scale. The slices of bread tell us how small caviar really is.
